Safe to remove? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I post the names of some things on my s5 neo, can someone tell me if they're safe to remove? (With root)
I've been looking for a comprehensive chart off and on for months now with not only the names of apps but also what they actually do and how safe they are too remove. All I've managed to find are lists of things that people have removed, but nowhere says the function of the apps.
If anyone is able to offer any help that would be great!

[Q] Duplicate Apps

Like, I'm guessing, a lot of people, I tend to go a little 'app crazy' now and again and install apps based on reviews (here and on other forums) without fully educating myself on what they do. This even extends to paid-for apps (I'm looking at you my multitude of launchers) and to that end I have a lot of apps that I'm pretty sure do the same thing other apps on my phone already do. (quick example Springpad, Evernote & Google Keep)
My question is this, is there an easy way to compare my apps to see what duplicates what and which app actually does the deed better? I realize, yes of course just read up on all of them and then choose, which is likely what I'll end up doing but if there's a shortcut method then I'd love to know it.
Also, I wish we could 'sell' apps we purchased but no longer need due to newer versions of Android having these features built in.
All information and suggestions (even the smarta$$ ones lol) are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Selling apps would not work out that well. And I dont know of any shortcut. Maybe make a thread on the themes/apps or questions sec asking users about their favorite app that does X

When you pay for an app you DON'T actually own it like you would own a car.
You purchase a license to USE the software.
Reselling the app is a violation of copyright law.
It's different if you have physical media.
You are allowed to sell the media as long as you delete the software from your system.

Yeah I actually understand the laws associated with digital content, especially after the Bruce Willis/Apple fight over his iTunes catalog.
But it would be nice to give access to these paid apps to someone else since I'm no longer using them, I hate paying for something and then no longer needing it/being unable to get rid of it or give to someone who can use it.

Looking to make a simple first app - need some guidance

Hi all,
Was looking for some guidance. I want to make a very simple app. Your traditional wallpaper app - I know there are already a ton out there, but I want to experiment. Basically have the user browse by category, then download a wallpaper. For someone who has never made an app, what is a good way to go about it? Would you recommend starting from scratch or using one of those free app websites? I know a little bit of Java, not nearly enough to make an app, but I wouldn't mind learning (lotta free time ATM). Is this something that can easily be made with a free app website? I've looked into those, but am not fully sure what their capabilities are. Any advice would be appreciated!
Apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum!
I'd start by installing Android Studio. Then I would dissect what your attempting to do here in goals and separate the coding tasks. Then I would glean what I could from the reference.
Start with simple apps

[Q] Help with first app.

Hi guys, need your help because i'd like to play but need some basic info.
I am going to make my first app: nothing really fantastic, just an adult content app made mostly to start playing with some app builders around there (biznessapps, como......).
Of course i would like to get my app downloaded and possibly make some cents with it and have confused ideas about all that.
As probably my app won't be allowed on google play and appstore, what is the best way to share my app? Appbrain maybe?
Most important: in app ads. Some building platforms are not compatible with ads so, how should i proceed if i need in app ads? Can publishing in alternative markets compromise the usage of let's say admob for example?
Well, i'd sincerely appreciate all tips and guides and suggestions for what matters publishing (where) and best and easy way to get ads into my app.
Cheers
Never heard of biznessapps, do they give some apps for free like ShoutEm ?
Yes, found Mikandi however i am thinking about just self promoting the app and make it downloadable from my site. Still have to look about it but seems like amazon app market allows adult stuff.
About biznessapps, nope, nothing free.

request for all members, please

I am looking into the idea of sandboxing our smartphones, and in particular adding an applications sandbox to restrict access to other apps and the phone itself.
I am looking for feedback from you, whether or not this is needed, a good idea, anything at all.
Thank you in advance.

You have to be approved on the Samsung developers site, but there seems to be a problem with the site at the minute.
